No SD cards over 1GB will work in the Zaurus.
CF cards > 1GB are ok, though. |

1GB is the max usable at the moment.
however, the OpenTom people are working on a new GPL driver for linux which might appear on the Z one day |

I cannot read Japanese, but it seems that there has been some success with a 2GB SD card: http://symzing.way-nifty.com/blog/cat3988248/index.html (search for the string "A-DATA 2GB SD") Can anybody translate, please? daniel |

QUOTE(merli @ Jan 20 2006, 03:19 PM) What about 2GB MMC's. Anyone tried? since the Z accesses SD cards in MMC compatibility mode, I would guess that they are also useless. I would guess that the problem is bad programming - the author of the driver probably used a counter or pointer that's too small to hold the number of blocks in the device and it wraps back to zero or a negative number (quite possible since people have reported crashes, which implies data in the kernel is being scribbled over). In theory, if you had an emulator and a debugger, you could work out where the problem is, and then do a binary patch. Alternatively, wait for the opentom/tom-tom devs to finish their fast SD driver and wait for it to get ported across. |

There is no source code to that sd card driver? nor 2.4 or 2.6 kernels?

The 4 gig SD card _may_ work on a c7x0 model Zaurus only. I've gotten a 2 gig card to work. See my other post for details:
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=17208 I've also tried a 2 gig Transcend mmcplus card. No joy at all, except with my CF adapter, which seems to be compatible with everything. |
